BBC: Moussa Sissoko’s fine equaliser ended Watford’s run of four consecutive defeats as they finished their season with a draw against Sheffield Wednesday, who clung on for point to stay above their hosts.

Sky: Josh Windass gave the Owls a 29th-minute lead but Moussa Sissoko replied in first-half added time to ensure a stalemate in a game between two teams with little left to play for.

Five talking points as Watford end season with draw

Cleverley pleased to end with positive performance if not result

‘Football is about feeling a part of something and I certainly do here’

Season summed up on final day amid extended glimpse into possible bleak future

BHappy: We bossed the second period, without creating much in the way of clear cut chances. For that, again, Wednesday get some credit… there was a degree of them losing their heads; Valéry and Otegbayo were rattled, Gassama spent most of the game sitting on the turf sulking as the action flowed indifferently around him. Nonetheless, they kept us at arm’s length… our one clear opening coming when Doumbia worked himself through only to be denied in a game of wink murder by Wednesday’s outstanding player, goalkeeper Pierce Charles.

Fran’s Watford Blog: It had been a spirited second half and the Hornets were unlucky not to come away with all three points. The draw meant that Wednesday took 12th place, and we finished in 14th. It was a bit of a disappointment that we didn’t manage a top half finish but, given that we were predicted to have a relegation struggle, it wasn’t a bad season. We finished a place and a point better than last season, mostly due to the tremendous start that we had. But it is testament to the wonderful job that Tom Cleverley did that we were never in a relegation battle.

Substitute Danny Ward scored a hat-trick to help Huddersfield Town finish the season on a high and end Watford’s 10-game unbeaten run at Vicarage Road.

The “lap of honour” at the end of the game was peculiar in the extreme.  The stands were… not empty, but not thronging with acclaim as they surely would have been given any kind of performance on the day.  It’s been a disappointing season, given the expectations we went in with… but it’s not been that bad for the most part.  There have been good wins, good performances, and everyone wants to leave happy.  As it was, those that remained were surely largely there for one man only.

Brendan Rodgers last programme notes. This was the game where John Eustace, a Watford player but on loan to Derby, played against us and scored.

Two goals from Grzegorz Rasiak helped Watford to a victory that was not quite as emphatic as the scoreline suggests.

OK, so final day of the season, not much to play for (save finishing above Palace, always nice…).  But given that… what a very fine way to end the campaign.  Nigel Clough’s assertion that the first goal was pivotal was probably fair enough – the game was wide open from the start – but the implication that the Rams were worth something woefully optimistic.

BBC Sport: Leeds cruised to a comfortable win over relegated Watford to greatly improve their chances of a Champions League place next season.

BSAD: The goal, when it arrived, was gorgeous. Hyde found Perpetuini on the left, who sent a very deep cross to the far post. Helguson leapt impossibly high to cushion the ball down to Foley, whose crisp half volley left Martyn with no chance. Olé, olé olé olé, Foley, Foley. We cared about this one
